Driving
●
If the ignition is s
witched off, the steering
column could be locked, making it impossi-
ble to control the vehicle.
WARNING
Always take the key with you when you
l
eave the vehicle. This is particularly impor-
tant if there are children in the vehicle, as
they might otherwise be able to start the
engine or use power-operated equipment
(e.g. the electric windows), which could
cause injuries.
CAUTION
●
If the v
ehicle is stopped and the Start-
Stop system switches off the engine, the ig-
nition remains switched on. Make sure that
the ignition is switched off before leaving
the vehicle, otherwise the battery could
discharge.
●
If the engine has been driven at high
speed for a prolonged period of time, it
may overheat when switched off. To avoid
damage, allow the engine to run for ap-
proximately two minutes in neutral before
switching it off.
Note
After the engine is switched off the radiator
f
an may run on for up to 10 minutes, even if
the ignition is switched off. It is also possi-
ble that the fan turns itself on once more if
the coolant temperature increases due to
the heat accumul
ated in the engine com-
partment or due to its prolonged exposure
to solar radiation.
Electronic immobilizer
The electronic immobiliser prevents unau-
thorised persons fr
om driving the vehicle.
In the key there is a chip that automatically
deactivates the electronic immobiliser.
The electronic immobiliser is automatically
activated when the key is outside the vehicle.
If the following message is shown on the in-
strument panel display: SAFE, the vehicle
cannot be started.
The engine can only be started using a genu-
ine SEAT key with its correct code.
Note
A perfect operation of the vehicle is ensur-
ed if genuine SEAT k
eys are used.
